Dateline: Los Angeles – Time Travelers has Laurels
Time Travelers has won an Award of Excellence at the Los Angeles Movie Awards.
Machinima and real–time animation took a huge step with the inclusion in the awards circle for film competition in the animation category. For this genre to be recognized as valid it has to stand head to head and shoulder to shoulder with more traditional forms of animation. As the ability to use story, character development and plot grows along side mastery of the genre, we are confident that we will see this great and breathtaking new medium continue to win awards as a graphic platform of its own, WITHIN animation categories.
Los Angeles Movie Awards extract:
This is great news for machinima, for Second Life artists and filmmakers and for PookyMedia. We are so proud to be part of the efforts which we share with the entire machinima community to lift the genre in the eyes of the public and main – stream movie audiences! On to the future indeed!
